    ThermoFun - Herb & Spice Substitutes

    Sometimes we get half way through cooking and realise that the herb/spice we thought we had plenty of, is all of a sudden empty!

    Below is a printable guide of substitutes in case that ever should happen in your house.  I have printed mine and have stuck it to the inside of my pantry door for quick reference.  :)

    If you have any other substitutes please feel free to add in the comments below.  :)

    I also have printed out and stuck to the inside of my pantry door, my Thermomix Frequently Used Reference Tips Click Here

    I hope both of these are helpful for you.  :)

      Substitutes need to come closer to flavour to be able to substitute in a recipe and a few of your subs are not accurate.

      Cumin cannot be substituted freely with Chilli Powder, especially as Cumin is used in desserts as well... A more appropriate substitute for Cumin is Cardamom or ground coriander seed.

      A more appropriate substitute Tumeric is a combination of ginger (which is a relative of tumeric) and the saffron to get the colour

      If the Ginger is for a savoury dish and comour doesnt matter, then tumeric is a better substitute than the current list

      White pepper is a better substitute for chilli flakes as black pepper is lighter in heat

      Tarragon should be replaced with coriander or parsley or bay leaf not fennel/anise based flavours

        Thank you Karen for your suggestions. This is just a suggested list which I got from about.com.food which I have indicated the source on the bottom left of my chart. :)
